Tips

  • As of July 2026, the City of Tolleson does not appear to publish a mechanical/HVAC-specific plan review turnaround time distinct from its general Development Handbook guidance (1-2 weeks for residential-scale work). There is no verifiable online source for a category-specific SLA — call Development Services at 623-936-7111 directly.
  • No separate itemized fee line exists for mechanical/HVAC permits — this work is billed on the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee table as general construction.
